======== STOP THE "GRAND BARGAIN" -- IT'S A TURKEY! ==========================
*Monday, November 26, 2012, 12:00 pm*
*Downstairs from Sen. John Kerry's office, Cambridge St and New Chardon St,
Boston*
President Obama and Republicans are bargaining to cut the deficit. But they
shouldn’t balance the budget on the backs of ordinary people, who didn’t
cause the problems. *Stop the fiscal swindle! *
On November 7, the people of 91 Massachusetts cities and towns passed the
/Budget for All [1]/by a 3 to 1 margin [2]. It calls for budget principles
that will put people back to work, fight climate change, rebuild our economy
for the future, and stop endless wars, while balancing the budget:
• Stop the cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment
benefits, housing, food and veterans’ benefits
• Invest in jobs in manufacturing, schools, housing, renewable energy,
transportation and public services
• Close corporate tax loopholes, end offshore tax havens, and raise taxes
on incomes over $250,000
• Reduce the military budget, end the war in Afghanistan and bring troops
home safely now
/Join tenants, community and faith leaders, peace activists, and the Grand
Turkey at a rally! Bring appropriate props and costumes (turkeys, billionaire
suits, musical instruments, signs and banners) -- and tell us in advance that
you'll be there! Register to attend
at /*/justicewithpeace.org/grand-turkey-register [3]/*/! //We will gather
in front of Senator Kerry’s office to deliver a letter, and then march to
Senator Brown’s nearby office. *Tell our elected officials to r**eject
the "grand bargain" – it’s a turkey!*/
Sponsored by the Budget for All Coalition [4], Massachusetts Peace Action
[5], UJP [6] Afghanistan/Pakistan Task Force, Veterans for Peace [7], Mass.
Alliance of HUD Tenants [8], and Progressive Democrats of America [9] (list
